Sat, 18 May 2013 21:17:33 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1988497#comment-182750@hockeydon10 – speaking from here in Phoenix, I agree with Burke being good at getting more out of the goalies he works with. There’s a caveat on how good Bryz looked in Phoenix – I thought he had Curtis Joseph Syndrome: when he was here he was fantastic in the regular season, but looked ordinary in the playoffs. The word here was that, ignoring the fact the ownership situation kept them from spending the money Bryz was looking for, they wouldn’t have signed him for anything near that anyway, because of how he looked in the playoffs.

Sat, 18 May 2013 04:22:06 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1988497#comment-182549I do not think many people actually read this article.
Picking players is not the owners job.

So rather then signing an at the time Vesnia finalist who would you closes sign?

As a flyers fan I think it would be smart to give Bryz another year. Now that we have a good backup and Bryz has settled in, we just need to make some changes on D and this team will be set.

Fri, 17 May 2013 23:56:27 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1988497#comment-182424It’s amazing how quickly Bryz went from an elite goalie when he was in a defensive-minded system to an awful one once he switched to a team with one of the worst Ds in the league (but not THE worst – sorry Flyers fans, but my boys in the burgundy and blue earned that “honor” last year fair and square).

Anyway, perhaps instead of throwing the goalie under the bus, Snider and his team should be concentrating on fixing their defense. I doubt playing musical netminder is going to help them much until they do.

Fri, 17 May 2013 21:58:56 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1988497#comment-182383Those were not the reasons given by management. Those were the reasons given by fans and less informed media members. It probably didn’t help that you could always find Richards and Carter drinking in Old City, but that’s not why they were traded. In order to sign Bryz to his monster deal the team had to clear cap room. It also afforded them the space to sign Jagr and Talbot.

However, Burke has a great track record of turning 6’3”+ goalies into all-star caliber starters. The defensive system employed by Phoenix certainly helps but he’s also doing something right. I don’t personally think Reese is doing a bad job, but I’ve heard that he and Bryz don’t get along. And he doesn’t have the same productive history as Burke.

Fans have short memories.
